Inscription

GRAVELLY PLATEAU & TWO RUN CREEK. May 19, 1864: Butterfield's (3d) Div., 20th A.C. (USA), moving S.E., from McDow's, left the road here & marched to the Hawkins Price house, enroute to Kingston. The 1st & 2nd Divs. (USA), on roads W., had the same objective - an erratic move by Sherman, who assumed that Johnston's Army (CSA) had retreated on Kingston.

Butterfield's march disclosed that Johnston's Army was at Cassville, not Kingston. The 23rd A.C. (Schofield) (USA) marched on this road from McDow's, reaching Cassville at dark. 008-19 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1953
